Every Wednesday of every year (weather permitting), enthusiastic yachties take the afternoon off work and venture to RQYS for a sail around Green Island, just for the fun of it!
Rearrange your schedule and get on down to the RQ Bar from 12 noon to enter your yacht or register your interest to sail. Our WAGS Team will do their best to place visiting sailors on a yacht, however cannot guarantee that a position will be available.

*Please note: some information in this video has changed since its release.
Please read full details below.
How WAGS Works
The first thing to do when arriving at the club is to sign in at Clubhouse Reception.
- We would recommend that you arrive between 12 noon and 12:30 pm to complete this process, as the subsequent crew registration is between 12 noon and 1:00 pm.
- If you are not already covered by Australian Sailing’s on-water insurance and liability, our friendly Receptionists will sign you up for an RQYS Sail Pass Day Membership, which will provide you insurance cover for the day.
- This RQYS Sail Pass Day Membership essentially initiates newcomers to the Squadron as a crew member for that day, affording that individual the opportunity to enjoy the on-water activities on offer.
There are four options available to assist you in participating in a WAGS event; those being:
- Join as a Crew member of RQYS (Cost is available at Reception).
- Provide evidence of membership of an Australian Sailing affiliated yacht club.
- Be signed in by an RQYS Member and complete a Sail Pass Day Membership form. This also grants you the first three sails as complimentary.
- Purchase a WAGS Sail Pass Day Membership (Fee of $25 per day is applicable for the first six visits – this fee includes a $10 Food and Beverage Voucher. Fees increase to $45 for the next six visits, subsequent participation must be facilitated by membership in the appropriate category.
Secondly, you will then need to register with the WAGS coordinators in the RQ Bar. They will record you onto the crew list, and then assign you to a vessel.
- Placement on a vessel for WAGS will be prioritised in order of the four options above; and as such we cannot guarantee that you will make it onto a vessel to go sailing.
- The number of spaces available is completely dependent on the number of boats entered in WAGS and if the skippers of those boats have any available spots for extra crew.
- Depending on weather and the vessel you are assigned, the sailing event / competition can take anywhere between 2 to 4 hours.
In terms of what to bring, we recommend a bottle of water, clothes that can get wet and shoes with non-marking soles (so as to not mark the deck of the boat).
Why WAGS is important
WAGS is a vital strategic pathway for on-water participation in the sport of sailing. It provides an avenue through which individuals and families can engage in an intensive but light-hearted interpretation of the sport, before ultimately committing to a learn-to-sail course or RQYS membership.
It is the intention of WAGS to introduce newcomers to the joys and excitement of sailing on Moreton Bay, both competitively and recreationally. We hope that all WAGS participants fall in love with our sport and choose to belong to our rich, vibrant community here at RQYS.
WAGS also provides an avenue for avid sailors to regularly compete as a crew member, developing their skills and experience, in the absence of owning their own vessel.

($395.00 for members and $430.00 for non members)
Introducing Tackers 2 graduates to competitive sailing. Tackers 3 builds on the skills and knowledge gained in the Tackers 1 & 2, and will enable the child to manoeuvre the boat efficiently in light to moderate conditions. The students learn more advanced boat handling skills, basic racing skills, and boat maintenance to prepare them for RQYS Green Fleet.
What to expect: A nationally renowned curriculum, started in Victoria, that introduces students to the concept of sailing. Each morning during the term will include a briefing on land and some theory, then implementation of that theory on the water (weather dependent). The holiday programs are the same, just running two sessions each day instead of one morning a week. Every Tackers program is twenty one hours of education, and most of the time is spent sailing.
What to bring: Sun-safe clothes to get wet, closed in shoes to get wet (ie: no sandals or Crocs), sun-screen, and a great attitude! All the students are given a colour-coded Tackers cap for the program.
